First of all:
Props to Beck & Hallman for writing a character who suffers from anxiety. It’s not easy to find representation for things like this. Sure, it’s a trauma / PTSD-type response, but she’s living with crippling anxiety and I felt like it was depicted pretty well.

The continuity could’ve been a smidge better, but it seemed like the authors look some liberties with this for the sake of ‘showing instead of telling’ so I’ll take it.

When I read this one, I was 3 books deep into binging this series and I mostly like it—these characters are a bit sweeter than books 1 & 2’s and the ‘mystery’ a little less obvious. The misunderstandings were less stretch-y, etc. Overall, pretty well-played.

Some of this one even made me laugh … if you’ve read book 2, picture Ava about to ‘rearrange someone’s face’ in standing up to a bully/ for a new friend. This whole scene was fun!

Oh! And towards the end, I couldn’t help but notice the Corium crossover—absolutely loved this.
Overall: 4 stars.

It’s likely I’ll read on in this series.


Audio:
Both of these narrators continue to sound great and I’d definitely listen to either of them any time. I do appreciate the perfect sound quality as well. 5-star performance, 5-star production.

My least favourite out of the series. I wanted to read a dark romance not be depressed. Good going Clark it's a pity I hate your book circumstances.
